Poem After I Pick Uncontrollably
I can't stop picking my fucked up skin
It's a sick twisted drive that comes from within
I'm addicted to picking and squeezing my face
until i fucking bleed, such horrid disgrace
my nose red with nail marks
my cheeks holy too
my t-zone a bump free zone
for a second or two
i hide in the bathroom
i lock up my room
i sit on the counter
where lighting is good
i zone out
got the toner out
got the alcohol pads
the newest facewash fads
this habit is too bad
my face red,
am i mad?
my knuckles get swollen from the constant pressure
fear pressure cause tear pressures
nails cause deep impressions
this is my sad expression
i wont learn my lesson
cold water won't shrink these swollen pores
i can smell the oil
like a tiny spring it pours
tomorrow's primer and foundation
minerals and bronzer
got so much to cover
got so much to hide
maybe i'll play up my eyes
with dark eyeliner lines
but more pimples to pop
more shit to reveal
more sick fucked up pleasure
inner wounds need to heal
scabs to scratch
a smooth face
is all i want
but i tolerate pain
each pore is a game
a challenge and a shame
almost there
yes it came
harder
get the tissue
it's on the mirror
i've got issues
I can't stop picking my fucked up face
Tonight no control
tomorrow's the same
i just need to lather up, to rinse
and i'll stop
ooh motha fucka there's one to pop
blackheads and white heads
i'm feeling quite high
acne and pus bubbles
WHY GOD WHY?
I have perfect skin
underneath this excess oil
it makes me itch
and my plans are foiled
to make a commitment
to make a resolution
to stop this shit
and find a solution
but It's a war
I've been fighting
for ten years now
each battle Im losing
the damage is done
another round wont matter
my fingers are pitchforks
my face is so soft
this compulsion destroys me
i pray to stop
i need microdermabrasion
but this addiction seems endless
cause I'm fucking crazy

hi sorryandsore. just read your poem and i really liked it. reminded me of eminem the way you have used rythmn, could imagine it to music. shame the layout on this site does not allow for paragraghs/line space as it would highlight your clever use of rhyme. i could really feel your feelings coming through your lyrics and can identify with the passion and frustration that you obviously feel. i would encourage you to keep writing your feelings and get them out as this can help. Rage within is destructive but rage utilised can be a fantastic motivator. i really liked your reference to the fingers being 'pitchforks' - its true they can be a weapon and cause so much destruction. i hope things are improving for you and any more poems that you write i hope you share them on this site. best wishes
